Cameron's Senior Photos With His Dad's '69 SS Camaro

Cameron Cox said he liked classic cars on his senior form that I have all of my senior clients fill out. Little did I know that this ‘69 SS Camaro would be this COOL! Cameron got quite the variety of locations for his senior photos. We started at his home and captured a few photos with his two beagles, headed to a bridge near his family’s home with his dad’s Camaro, drove into downtown Muncie and walked a couple blocks, and then ended along the river in Muncie. He got all the fall colors and had such great weather for his session. Just a month earlier I captured his older sister’s wedding, it was so much fun getting to know this sweet family and capture such important moments for them.

Blair's Senior Photos at Pendleton Falls Park

Oh Blair! I absolutely adore this sweet senior. She is one of my senior spokesmodel girls and is so full of life and has such a bubbly personality. She is such a giving person with such a big heart, and apart of so many different groups and activities. She is a senior at Madison Grant, and wanted an outdoorsy/water/bridge senior session. She came up with the Pendleton park and it was PERFECT! Her older sister came along for a few photos as well in their matching tutus and t-shirts with their birth year. The whole family tagged along and dad carried her outfits, mom and sister redid her hair and carried all of her cute accessories. I can't wait to shoot again with her in the spring for her second half of her senior photos.

Abigail's Senior Photos - Graffiti Style

Abigail was such a sweet senior to work with. We started in nature in the woods, then headed to the river in downtown muncie, while we were shooting we both saw this SWEET looking graffiti wall. She had told me she was interested in art and it was absolutely perfect for her and her style. I have 30 minutes left to shoot with her in a couple weeks and then I have family photos booked with her and her family in December.

Sierra's Fall Soccer Senior Session

Sierra booked just a day after her bff Lexi, Sierra is also a senior spokesmodel girl on my team! She is such a sweet human being, so quiet and laid back. We started her session, just the two of us at the nature area near the reservoir, headed down the road to Redtail Conservatory, and then ended at the Wapahani soccer field. By the end of her session it was starting to drizzle and we were all freezing, so we decided to finish her senior session later this month at her last location. Sierra brought her lettermen’s jacket, soccer ball, uniform, and cleats for some shots to showcase her passion for soccer.

Lexi's Fall Senior Session with Her Jeep Wrangler

Lexi, one of my senior spokesmodel girls had her senior session this fall and she brought her Jeep Wrangler along. I love when seniors incorporate something special and unique to them such as a vehicle, sport they play, pet, or hobby. We started at the nature area near the reservoir, headed to the river for photos along the water and ended at the Craddock Nature Preserve in her gorgeous pink dress. Her mom and bff Sierra (another senior spokesmodel girl) tagged along and assisted in carrying her outfits and making her laugh.

Caitlin's Senior Photos - With Her Horses and Dog

Caitlin has two senior sessions this fall, her first was at home with her two horses and puppers. The property was gorgeous especially at sunset. I can’t wait to shoot again next Monday with Caitlin for her second round of photos at Minnetrista and the Craddock Nature Reserve. If you have pets that you want to include in your senior photos, I 100% urge you to include them! When I had my senior photos taken (almost 10 years ago) I included my two dogs and that photo still sits on my shelf today. I lost my collie less than a year later and treasure those photos so much.

Sophia Ireland is one of my 2021 senior spokesmodel team girls and she has been so much fun to work with this year.

Leah's Senior Session - Downtown Muncie & At Home With Her Horse

I am always down for a unique session. When Leah’s mom told me that she wanted senior photos with her horse, I was like HECK YES! We started her session in downtown Muncie, with the assistance of her mom and 2 younger sisters. Her youngest sister (Paige age 10) brought her camera and shot besides me throughout the session. It was so stinking sweet to see such a young person take such an interest in photography and watching what I was doing. After we left downtown Muncie, we headed to her home in Delta. Their property was absolutely gorgeous, with a large field, her beautiful horse, and an amazing sunset at the end of her session.

Mallory Summers is one of my 2021 senior spokesmodel girls, and I have LOVED getting to know her.

Senior Spokesmodel Styled Shoot: BOHO PARTY IN THE WOODS

We spent the entire day at the studio for hair and makeup. Kayla Butler styled their hair with their favorite Boho styles (lots of braids and fun curls). Andrea Connelly did their makeup, with natural colors to showcase their true beauty. MY VENDORS WERE AMAZING to work with! While the girls got all dolled up, I captured behind the scene photos of each of them and we jammed out to music. It couldn’t have went better! After showing up at 8:45 that morning finishing my set up from the day before, the girls started showing up at 10 am and hair and makeup started! We finished getting ready in the studio at 4:30 and headed out to the woods on golf carts. The girls faces lit up when they saw the styled shoot set up for the very first time! The shoot included a Belle tent, tall colorful candles, vintage crystal colorful glasses, tons of colorful blankets and pillows, handmade bouquets recycled from a wedding, my fave Target egg chair, an old ladder, and lots of other accessories to make up a boho vibe….

Magical Flower Field Shoot with Blair

GUYS! I can't tell you how many times during this shoot I giggled and said, "OH MY WORD BLAIR!" Can you believe this location is a spot I have driven by 10,000+ times in my life. I never thought about it being such a magical location until about a month ago. As a photographer I am always scouting out new locations and exploring new spots for my clients. Blair is one of my senior spokesmodels and did ABSOLUTELY amazing throughout the entire shoot. These are just some highlights, there are soooo many more just as magical as these!

I may be 26 but you never are too old to ask for your mommas help! I had my momma, Jennifer come along and shoot some behind the scenes shots for me to share on social media with everyone. As a photographer I don't get many photos of me behind the camera, so these photos and videos mean the absolute world to me. (Thanks mom!)

If anyone is wondering where all of her cute outfits are from, Blair is a brand ambassador for The Wispy Pine Boutique! Feel free to follow their page and check out all of their adorable outfits and accessories.
